    Made some Fishing rods this weekend

    I made 3 fishing rods this weekend. 2 for me (blue red) and 1 for the wife (pink). The rods are medium light and medium action which should be a good all around rod. The blue on is in the process of drying.

    I think I am at 8 rods built so far and they keep getting better.

    Great work on the rods and the rod jig - nice design.

    The rod rig works good. I made it after seeing one in a book and I am to cheep to buy a manufactured one.

    My wife likes it when I make the rods because I leave her alone

    I am looking for a good video on wrapping please recommend a few. I really like the little rap in the center of the eye foot wrap but I am unsure how to tie it.
